ACCESS ALL AREAS NOW!
Learning Disability Awareness Training
For more information please contract Sara Gorman on 07771836853 or the office number 01902-553372 until our phone lines are in. You will more than likely be getting my work supporter Dave Pyke taking my calls or email me but let Dave know as well.Same email address as on top of the page.
Purpose Of Access All Areas Now! is to create a service to support people with Learning Disabilities and Mental Health problems to access all Areas of life with the right support equal to people without Learning Disabilities and Mental Health Problems, I understand this is something that may or may not happen.I understand that to run a business I have to start off small. I mustn't build my hopes up:never say never. One never knows what's round the condor but at the moment Access All Areas Now! is a Learning Disability Awareness Training service. I train services who want Learning Disability Awareness training.
One of the hard areas of life to access is traveling, transport and getting around. This is because a lot of people need the right support to access everyday life equal to the rest of society. It's very important for people with disabilities and Mental Health problems to be independent just like everyone else.
Back in 2008, I wrote an Employment play for Learning Disability week based on the problems people with disabilities and Mental Health problems have accessing employment. Not long before that we spoke about setting Access All Areas Now! The Travel Buddy was one of the first things we spoke about and employment. Our plan is to support people around their chooses, employ them ourselves, find people places where they want to work or most people may want to be supported in Self - employed. With the right support for us to support people like ourselves, we should be a successful business. On the other hand I am not building my hopes up:never say never.
We hope to help people get to where they want and need to. We want to make a big difference to the lives of people with disabilities and Mental Health problems. Bring out the good to support people with disabilities and Mental Health problems to have equal lives to other people. To put the bad dark past behind us. Build people's confidences up.
To look out for the Health and Well Being for people with Learning Disabilities and Mental Health problems.
We want to see more people with learning disabilities and Health problems traveling on buses than mini buses!

2010
OUR SHOUT NEWS.
There has been a lot of changes that has happen during 2010. Back in March Greg left Our Shout even he still works for Mencap on a Tuesday. I have found myself in a sense running things, which hasn't been easy with trying to run Access All Areas Now! I so much want to see that the members of the group get easy read minutes, which isn't easy, lack of money to printing access at home.
Changes to Our Shout Lucy Dunstan left Mencap at the end of October 2010, then Louise Smith took over as Empowerment supporter for Our Shout. We have also become very short on members, which we need to advertise for. We hope to talk more about the future of Our Shout after Christmas and New Year.
Life in the Partnership Board hasn't been easy for Our Shout in different ways for eg; the members having to wait a long time to have our say. Mid to late 2010 things started to move on a bit most of the members including myself with the support of Changing Lives in Tip ton, we became Learning Disability MPs of Wolverhampton.
VALUING PEOPLE NOW! Making it happen for all.
a three year plan for people with learning disabilities.
The plan is drive by views of people with learning disabilities, our families and carers.
Most people with learning disabilities are still turned away from society.
People with learning disabilities should have the same life chance as other people without learning disabilities.
If we are to have the same chances as other people in society and live full lives, public services should be better for us when we access them.
Health is one of the Key Priorities Valuing People Now.
Change needs to happen for all with learning disabilities, which includes people with more complex needs, those with minority ethnic communities, those with Autistic Spectrum conditions and those who have offended.
The plan sets out the Governments response to recommendations in the Independent Inquiry into access to Health Care, Health Care for All, published in 2008.
The Health Care for All report showed a hard-hitting message. It set out undeniable evidence that people with learning disabilities have greater need for Health Care more so than other people, yet we access care that need resulting in poorer health.
Neglect or abuse of disabled people is not acceptable and the Government is determined that lessons are learned to take action to better Health Care for people with learning disabilities.
MENCAP'S DEATH INDIFFERENCE REPORT.
Back in 2007, Mencap had heard that six young people with learning disabilities had died under the care of the NHS caused by neglect, this is Mencap wrote a report that year. This is one of the reasons why OUR SHOUT started doing Health plays of our own experiences Health Care in front of Health Care staff. WWW.mencap.org.uk
